I got stung by a wasp on my finger yesterday it only swelled a little. today it's swollen even worse what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep calm : Apply warm compresses for the pain and swelling about 3-4 times a day for about 20 minutes each time . May also take ibuprofen for pain and swelling . Things should be getting better in a few days . If it is becoming more painful , continues to swell , you have any purulent discharge , decrease sensation, finger turn blue/purple , cold or clammy , then you must see a doctor immediately
